Yet another release! You're one of the most contributing member in 2016-2017 according to me.
If someone can add a video displaying the include's capabilities that would be nice

[Zeth]

Another great release from the ginger!

I am just wondering if anyone would think of something like this when getting bored at 4am.

[HydraHumza]

Nice one homie.

[DonaldDuck]

Great!

[Ponga]

awesome

[Meller]

This is great, I would've used it on my server but since I'm not a fan of using textdraws, I won't unless I get up with ideas where textdraws would prove helpful.

Well done.

lmao, same.

OT: Great release.

[Eoussama]

This has potential, good job!

[TheAdrenalin]

Could we please get some videos to show exactly how this works?

I couldn't agree more! It's like every other day I check the forums & see another unique release by him

[Andre02]

This sure is an amazing release, great job!!
I haven’t been around/script for quite a while, just cameback, so haven’t seen your other works yet. But I see people enjoy your releases/works which has me looking forward to see more, so keep it up

[Romz]

Can you record a video?

[Pottus]

Code:

TextAnim_SetData(index, frame, E_ANIMATION:type, {Float, Text, _}:...); 
TextAnim_GetData(index, frame, E_ANIMATION:type, {Float, Text, _}:...); 
TextAnim_Play(index, startframe, endframe, update_rate, timer_interval, continuous=false); 
TextAnim_Stop(index);

[Gammix]

frames?

[Pottus]

Yes frames.

2 questions:

1) What about positional movement? That's the main thing I'd be interested in as I already do that with some code and it would be nice to outsource that. In fact currently the only thing I do is the only thing you don't do.

2) Do you know you can put multiple tags on single variables as well as varargs? There's no need to use "..." in "TextAnim_SetData".

1. I have plans for that. Still hooking all textdraw functions... Please wait Lol
2. Yes, i was gonna add multiple args first but for now i can remove it.
